Amar, I've had that on my TBR for over a year. Let us know what you think. The premise sounds pretty good.

Haha, where are all the mini golf courses now. They were a favourite of our kids twenty years ago. When we took the kids to the US in 2000 we found some awesome ones in California. But I think they've gone the way of drive ins. Enjoy ..😘

Couldn't face that one, Sally... but I'm watching The Amazing Race Australia which probably isn't much better but hey amazing scenery. Hope they go to Uluru..

88432 I'm ready to roll too...

I'm going to read this first as it's due back at the library at the end of the week. Elizabeth & Elizabeth by Sue Williams . It's looks so interesting about two important women of the Sydney colony and with the discussion about changing the date of Australia Day particularly interesting.

Then I'll work on my colour cover books. Woo Hoo... ready to read!

88432 Welcome Amar. Looks like everyone has checked in? Only five more days to get this show on the road.

Karen, we had to wear masks in the Gold Class Foyer.. till we ordered drinks. Same in the cinema, we ordered food and drink so didn't wear the mask whilst we were eating.. I agree, the mask although necessary for health is uncomfortable.

88432 I went to the Movies (at Gold Class Macquarie, Karen) and saw The Dry, first time I've been to the movies in a year. Has anyone read the Jane Harper book, it was a pretty good adaptation. Though Eric Bana was a much better looking Aaron that I had pictured in the book. And the importance of the landscape didn't quite come through in the movie.

88432 Thanks for the Uluru tips. I've just booked the accommodation and flights so I'll definitely book the dinner. And I really want to do the sunrise walk around and the helicopter flight as well. I'm glad we booked 4 nights. And I booked in the 50% off accommodation sale too, so can splurge a bit on the sightseeing and tours.

88432 Yes, Karen, I had a big year of travelling planned...

I've had to cancel from last May Cornwall and Wales that nearly broke my heart. I love doing authors homes and book locations and I really wanted to do all the Poldark sites. And my bestie who I travel a lot with was going to look up all her 3rd cousins in Wales.

And this year for March I had to cancel our tour to India then we were getting on a cruise ship to sail across the Arabian Sea and up through the Suez Canal to Greece.

But I'm not complaining, with everything going on in the world. So I've booked to go to Uluru in June and hopefully the borders will stay open and I'll get there!

88432 So glad everyone was okay Kelly. Cute baby, cute name. Does she get Bea or Trixie for short?

I was lucky enough to visit Beatrix Potter's cottage in the Lake District when I was on my last trip to the UK in 2019. It was like stepping back in time, so quaint and the cottage garden was really beautiful as well.

88432 I love the chatting to other "book people" and finding those letters and of course the colour covers. And what fun and wacky mini challenges the Uno Pixie and her helpers come up with.

Lots of teams this year and with UNO it's always the luck of the draw. But I'm feeling good about our winning chances this year. Not that I'm competitive or anything, LOLOLOLOL..

88432 I loved that book. It was my favourite read from last year. The writing was so beautiful and the story enthralling. I loved the ending . 😍

And Sofie, The Clockwork Princess was my favourite book of the year I read it. Hint... read with tissues.

Looks like we'll be fine for the reverses.

I'm no 2 in the queue for that from our local library. Hopefully I'll have to use in Round 2. It's green enough on TinEye. The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Here's a yellow 7 if anyone wants to read it? (I can do it if no one is interested but don't won't to hog all the colour covers. I can keep it on stand by just in case)

Sally, have you signed in to your google account? Sometimes you have to sign back in to be able to access the spread sheet.
